Queen Of The World, 700 Reviews

Life is good for Queen Latifah. She has an Oscar® nomination and now she's in two hit movies. Bringing Down The House, the racial comedy with Steve Martin (I enjoyed it!) took the top spot at the box office with a very impressive 31.1 million dollars. In the coming weeks, this should stand strongly. In second was another new release, that being Tears Of The Sun. The Bruce Willis war drama fared well with 17.1 million. Old School continuted to do well with 9.2 million, while Chicago is still hanging on strong with 6.8 million. Right behind it was the romantic comedy smash How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days with 6.7 million.

Cradle 2 The Grave took a major drop as it went down five places and took in only 6.5 million this weekend. Daredevil also continues to slide down, taking in seventh place and 5.2 million. Disney's February hits and Universal's February miss took the rest of the top ten as The Jungle Book 2, Shanghai Knights and The Life Of David Gale each made 4.3, 2.7 and 2.1 million respectively.

With that out of the way, DVDlaunch now supports 700 reviews. Woohoo! It took us a little longer than usual to get here, but still, 700 reviews in our database is a bit impressive (or so I think - that's a lot of DVD reviews!). Once again I'd like to thank you all personally - the visitors. Without you, DVDlaunch wouldn't be where it is today. So here's to another 700 more (or 300 more).

See you all back next week when we see if anything else can topple Queen Latifah and I as give you my Oscar® picks...
